Failed to login to instance with "lightning" word in instance name

[Jojolam44]

Summary

When our company migrated from classic to lightning, we created a new instance with the "-lightning" keyword in it.
We can't login with sfdx-cli because it trigger the "lightning domain" URL check error.

Steps To Reproduce

sfdx org:login:web --instance-url="https://mycompanyname-lightning.my.salesforce.com"

Expected result

Allow to login sfdx-cli to our instance

Actual result

$ sfdx org:login:web --instance-url="https://mycompany-lightning.my.salesforce.com"
Error (1): Invalid instance URL. It should NOT be a lightning domain.

Try this:

If you specify an --instance-url value, this value overrides the sfdcLoginUrl value in your sfdx-project.json file.

To specify a My Domain URL, use the format https://yourcompanyname.my.salesforce.com.

To specify a sandbox, set --instance-url to https://MyDomainName--SandboxName.sandbox.my.salesforce.com.

[tecfu]

@shetzel Can you please state which version has been tested for a fix?

• I see this issue in 2.13.9
• Per your release notes 2.13.9 was published on October 18, 2023

I am seeing this issue in the following env:

@salesforce/cli/2.13.9 linux-x64 node-v18.15.0

Given:

• That I run in docker

docker run -it salesforce/cli:latest-rc-slim

• That I use the following command to authenticate

sfdx force:auth:device:login --instance-url https://company--md04.sandbox.lightning.force.com -d -a devhub --json

[shetzel]

@tecfu - you're using a lightning domain, which is different from the OP in this issue, and should not be used as the instance-url. As part of the error message (in your case in the JSON) it should state:

Error (1): Invalid instance URL. It should NOT be a lightning domain.

Try this:

If you specify an --instance-url value, this value overrides the sfdcLoginUrl value in your sfdx-project.json file.

To specify a My Domain URL, use the format https://yourcompanyname.my.salesforce.com/.

To specify a sandbox, set --instance-url to https://mydomainname--sandboxname.sandbox.my.salesforce.com/.
